My wife and I stayed at the Doubletree Jersey City in February for a two night (Saturday and Sunday) stay. We decided we wanted to be close to Manhattan, but pay a more reasonable price. The Doubletree surpassed our expectations.
The hotel is easy to get to from the NJ Turnpike and their on-site parking lot (a few steps from the lobby) offers in-an-out service for $15 per day (out by 4pm on the last day).
The room we booked was a junior suite with a queen bed. When we arrived at 10am, we were too early to officially check-in, so the hostess 'blocked out' a "really nice room with a king size bed". We had the option of checking into a room with a "great view of New York" but had two double beds. We opted to wait for the King. We went into New York for the day and came back to the hotel late in the evening. Unfortunately, the room the hostess blocked out for us was not the room we got. We were put into a queen size bed adjacent to the elevator. Disappointing.
The room itself is modern, clean, comfortable and nicely sized. With microwave, fridge, coffeemaker, great bed, nice bathroom and chocolate chip cookies, it was exactly what we would want. Partial view of manhattan, but not something we cared about.
The hotel is a couple blocks from the Newport mall, a grocery store and the Path train (or ferry) to manhattan. The $1.50 ticket gets you to the city in about 10 minutes. Very convenient and safe.
Since our blocked room was not available, the hostess that helped us apologetically comped us breakfast in the hotel. A nice buffet selection of hot foods and continental choices. Expensive. It was a little cheaper to go to walk to the Marriot (next to the path) to get their buffet ($13.95) or drive to the IHOP.
We are looking forward to another weekend in New York in a couple months and we will stay here again (requesting a room away from the elevator this time).
